Abstract

I took part in a seven-person summer-school project examining vortex generators on an LM Wind Power airfoil prototype. My work included 3D printing the models, calibrating the wind-tunnel boundary-layer velocity profile, and conducting experiments.

The group used wind-tunnel and water-channel PIV tests to examine the flow. The original numerical results and report are no longer available, so this page retains the experiment photographs without claiming a measured improvement.
